FanDuel DFS Guards
Kemba Walker - PG, CHA vs ATL (FD - $9,700)
Walker is the guy you should be looking to pay up for on this slate since his ceiling is so high and the matchup he has tonight is fantastic. He comes in with a 33.6% usage rate which is the highest on the team by nearly 7%, along with averaging 1.34 fantasy points per minute. Tonight, he will be up against the Hawks, who are giving up 49 FanDuel points per game to point guards this season, which is dead last in the league. This game has an over-under set at 233 points, which is super high, so we should be seeing plenty of scoring in this game.
Bradley Beal - SG, WAS @ NO (FD - $8,200)
The Wizards are having a very interesting season from a storylines perspective and find themselves in a game ripe with fantasy goodness. They are up against the Pelicans where the over-under is set at a MASSIVE 241 points. Absolute gold mine for NBA DFS and with Beal’s pure scoring upside, he stands to gain in this spot. The Pelicans are giving up 42 FanDuel points per game to shooting guards this season, which is sixth worst in the league. Love this spot for a game stack and Beal’s 27% usage rate should play a large part in this game.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Rudy Gay - SF, SA @ MIN (FD - $6,300)
Gay and the Spurs are up against the Timberwolves with a solid over=under set at 216 points. This might not be the highest total on the slate, but there is still plenty of fantasy value here. Gay has a solid usage rate sitting at 23.4% while posting a modest 1.07 fantasy points per minute. He is clearly the third option on the offense behind DeRozan and Aldridge, but the matchup is so good for him tonight, they should feed him the ball. Minnesota is giving up 43 FanDuel points per game to small forwards this season, which is fourth worst in the league.
Tobias Harris - PF, LAC vs PHO (FD - $8,400)
Harris is a super strong option tonight and good for any format due to his consistency and his matchup. In his last 12 games, Harris has scored 32 FanDuel points or more in 11 of those games, while the one game where he didn't score 32 was only down at 25 points. Super, super safe option tonight and considering he is up against the Suns in a game where the over-under is set at 227 points, he will have plenty of opportunities to reach that production again. He comes in producing 1.09 fantasy points per minute, which may not seem that high but is often playing over 33 minutes nearly every single game.
FanDuel DFS Centers
Rudy Gobert - C, UTA @ BKN (FD - $8,500)
We might be a week past Thanksgiving, but Gobert is in a spot to absolutely feast tonight with how good his matchup. Said matchup is facing the Nets, who are dead last in the league versus centers this season, giving up 65 FanDuel points per game. We already know that Gobert is a double-double machine, posting 10 in his last 12 games, so he should have no reason to not reach that threshold again tonight. Cash game or tournament play and is a bit too cheap for this matchup.
